Sources tell Variety the actress is in negotiations to join the upcoming Han Solo spinoff, starring Alden Ehrenreich.

Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke co-star in the Disney-Lucasfilm feature, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing.

As Variety exclusively reported this week, “Fleabag” actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge is also in talks for a key role in the pic. Newton’s character is unknown.

Could Thandie be playing Sana?

I thought they started filming like 2 weeks ago?

Thandie Newton was so fucking good in Westworld. Been aware of her since Mission: Impossible II, never knew she was such a phenomenal actress.

A good point. Probably the kind of role with five minutes worth of screentime, or maybe they need some quick replacements.

I like this cast. I really want a Pulp Fiction-style Star Wars film about barely competent drug runners in a galaxy far, far away.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge! She's phenomenal.
